Using punctuation appropriately
Activity 1:
To use punctuation appropriately
[lo 6.2.6]
In order to convey a clear message, it is essential to punctuate your writing correctly. Try the following to see how expert you are.
Hello is that mr ploughman this is mrs i c Yu speaking from the people paper I believe you are building a new housing complex on the river-bank of the ezengi river I would like to know whether you have received permission from the local council to build there and also whether you know that this is the home of the endangered blue headed zink this is its only habitat and the digging and noise and dust and final removal of its only habitat you will definitely send it into extinction madam we are not interested in the blue headed zink and after all housing is needed are you prepared to talk about it or are you going ahead anyway we are too far gone with our plans this is an expensive exercise you know we cannot just stop now I shall bring a court interdict against you to stop you from proceeding and am just notifying you in advance that you will be receiving such a notice well do not speak to me send the notice to mr g reed he is in charge thank you I will do that

Kinds of language
[lo 6.2.6]
- Change the following conversation into INDIRECT SPEECH, in PROSE-FORM. Make sure that you tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth – the essence of repeating a conversation.

Today I saw a very strange animal. It has a l-o-n-g tongue which it whips out to eat insects and when I placed it on different plants it changed colour. Do you know what it is called? |
|
|
| Sakhela: |
|
I believe it is called a chameleon and that the changing of colours helps it to camouflage itself. It is a harmless animal and very friendly, so look after it. |

| Ithaba: |
|
Do you know that it can also swivel its eyes around? Wow, it is really an amazing creature. It is a pity that it moves so slowly because very often it is squashed by traffic. |

|
| Sakhela: |
|
Yes, if a motorist sees a chameleon – or a tortoise – they should return it to the vegetation on the side of the road. It is not fair to keep animals like these in captivity. People keep strange animals to boost their own egos and have no feelings for the animals or their needs. Of course, there are exceptions, such as taking animals away from a war-torn area or rescuing an injured animal. But as soon as an animal is healed, return it to the wild. |

Activity 3:
- to communicate ideas creatively and expressively with confidence
- to carry out interviews with learners
- to acknowledge others’ opinions
- to produce factual texts
- to extract and synthesise information
[lo 2.2.1, 2.3, 2.4.4, 4.2, 5.3.5]
Now, let us do some Designing. Colour plays such an important part in Design.
- Your group will be designing a new school uniform. Remember that the uniform must be durable, attractive, economically viable, easy to wear and wash and yet appeal to the learners who will wear it with pride. Perhaps the pupils would not like to have a uniform but a dress code?

In economics, a perfect market refers to a theoretical construct where all participants have perfect information, goods are homogenous, there are no barriers to entry or exit, and prices are determined solely by supply and demand. It's an idealized model used for analysis,

What is different between quantity demand and demand?
Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

how do you save a country economic situation when it's falling apart
what is the difference between economic growth and development
Economic growth as an increase in the production and consumption of goods and services within an economy.but
Economic development as a broader concept that encompasses not only economic growth but also social & human well being.

any question about economics?
sir...I just want to ask one question... Define the term contract curve? if you are free please help me to find this answer 🙏
Asui
it is a curve that we get after connecting the pareto optimal combinations of two consumers after their mutually beneficial trade offs

thank you so much 👍 sir

In economics, the contract curve refers to the set of points in an Edgeworth box diagram where both parties involved in a trade cannot be made better off without making one of them worse off. It represents the Pareto efficient allocations of goods between two individuals or entities, where neither p
